And he looks absolutely pathetic compared to that huge rock over to the right.

Mountaineer - Bronzebeard - Unit

As the citizens of Ironforge expanded into the surrounding areas, the order of the mountaineers was founded. Their mission is to safeguard the roads and settlements from dangers.

[camel's_hump]

Sexy. Why is no one posting anymore? -.-

 

[HappyTauren]

Because this awesomeness has reached the cow level therefore not everyone can comprehend it anymore. BTW those portrait anims are probably the best I've ever seen in wc3. The mountainer looks kinda funny when running though, can't explain it though, and thane model is just butsechs.

 

[HyperActive]

The models, textures and animations are beyond greatness, that's a fact. Though I'm not quite satisfied with the hero spells, there could be a lot better and creative, especially with those animations.
I also dig those stories

Oh, and are there gonna be icons?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

We might get around to icons depending on how busy we are when the models are finished. We aren't going to do screenshot icons though, that's just lame. We'd have custom drawn icons. Like this one anti did for Thane:

 

[HappyTauren]

Hmm... chriz... are those really 256X256 textures? If so, amazing detail, though I would say they are at least 512X512

 

[Deleted member 126647]

They are 512x512.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Forgot to say. Dwarves without moustaches looks so ugly...

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Forgot to say. Dwarves without moustaches looks so ugly...

I think it looks quite good to be honest.

 

[HappyTauren]

I think some look just a tad odd, but it is okay, doesn't make them suck or something (seeing them have huge beards and no mustaches whatsoever)

 

[camel's_hump]

It's nice to see a dwarf who chooses to shave every once in awhile. I don't think any skins are 256x256, but maybe there is an older one somewheres.

 

[smily132]

I Like the face on the Bronzebeard Hero. Keep up the good work

 

[HyperActive]

And what's the approximate size of a WoTTH unit?
I'm thinking 350-500 kb.

 

[HappyTauren]

No matter how large it is, it is for one of best projects out there. But I think that it should be around that value, because of 512^2 textures and awesome anims (which probably use bezier and hermite interpolations mostly).

 

[Deleted member 126647]

And what's the approximate size of a WoTTH unit?
I'm thinking 350-500 kb.

Thane:
118 kb for the model.
684 kb for the texture.

None of the models are more than 200 kb, but the textures are all roughly over 600 kb.

And HT, the animations are all made using TCB controllers and FK, nothing fancy.

Prospector Jorin Brordi - Bronzebeard - Hero

Good friend and companion of Captain Drenn Stoneaxe.

Spells:

Diamond Dust - Removing a fistful of diamonds from his pocket, Jorin throws a swarm of piercing diamonds towards a targeted enemy unit. The target and all enemy units around it take damage and are slowed for a short duration.

Prospector Lens (passive)- Gives Jorin Brordi a line of sight boost and true sight.

Miner's Awareness (aura) - Boosts units' attack and defense ratings that are near Jorin Brordi.

(Ultimate) Dynamite Throw - Throws a pack of dynamites at selected area. Causing great damage to units and buildings caught in its range.(Destroys trees)
Takes 3/2/1 seconds to detonate. Causes 300/400/450 dmg.

Model edits by camel's_hump
Base mesh by Blizzard and Whitehorn
Texture by camel's_hump

 

[HappyTauren]

TBC?! Well, in that case you use it like a god
Well I've thought that textures would take large amounts of space, since they are 512^2 and you probably won't compress them soon

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Yeah, I hope the public release versions will have their textures 256^2 and compressed to 100kb or lower to increase their usefulness.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I'm sure we can release both 512 and 256 versions; some might prefer the high quality.

 

[camel's_hump]

I really don't see why compress them, it's not like they're that big and computers/warcraft can handle a lot more than that.

 

[HappyTauren]

Well maybe, but you can compress them to reduce size by alot while quality doesn't change at all

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I really don't see why compress them, it's not like they're that big and computers/warcraft can handle a lot more than that.

It's not that Warcraft can't handle them, it's that there's a maximum filesize for B.net maps.

Ramrider - Bronzebeard - Unit

The elusive rams of Dun Morogh have been tamed by the Bronzebeards, and now serves both as beasts of burden and now, in the war of the three hammers, beasts of war. They carry their brave riders into battle, and there are few who would stand up to their furious charge.

Spells:

Pummel - Stuns the targeted unit

Model edits by Nasrudin
Base mesh by Blizzard
Texture by camel's_hump
Icon by camel's_hump

 

[frostwhisper]

Lovely little rider. His face is really good.

 

[HappyTauren]

Good, except for UV on the ram's backside is off.. but you already know that its based off Garithos right?

 

[Callahan]

It's rather the Orcwarlord.Garithos wield his axe on right hand and shield on left hand.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

It is based on Garithos.

This is an older model for the project, Happy, so there are small things like that present.

 

[HappyTauren]

Oh. I've really noticed it is lower quality than the others, probably because of blizzard's imperfect mesh and bad UVW . You were only doing model edits at that phase or?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

It is worse quality than the others, but in game it looks just fine in my opinion. I actually like it.

Yes, back then they were more or less model edits, let me show you: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=81870

But around the time I joined the team we began fully custom models such as the ones you've seen in this thread. The quality has been increasing with every model we create.

Anyway, here are the other three icons we have so far, they are Drenn, the Crossbowman and the Mountaineer. Made by camel of course.

 

[camel's_hump]

Gross, take out Drenn and the Mountaineer. Those are crap icons.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Third icon looks like if camel's_hump tried to mimic antihero's icon of a reskinned Rifleman Elite.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Gross, take out Drenn and the Mountaineer. Those are crap icons.

To be honest, I think if you took a bit of time to give the mountaineer some contrast and a bit of a face redesign it could pass as a good icon. I'll leave them, but people can see that you aren't happy with them.

 

[frostwhisper]

Indeed the quality has increased drastically.
Although even the model edits are rather good looking (with their new skins of course).

 

[camel's_hump]

Yeah I didn't use to be very good at all :X I think we should kill all model edits.

 

[HappyTauren]

Well, some of them are unprofessional, but will still work (arent THAT horrible).

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Yeah I didn't use to be very good at all :X I think we should kill all model edits.

The ramrider is definitely good enough in my eyes. Same with Jorin Brordi. We have a lot of model edits still, and we're already having problems finishing what's left. Let's not lose sight of the main goal, camel.

 

[~Void~]

Huh. The first icon is ok, second good, third messed up.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Made some WotTH custom gif avatars. All animations are made by yours truly. Feel free to use these.

 

[HappyTauren]

Ohh! I <3 that firelord! SUCKERS, IT IS MINE!!!

Lose site of the goal? The goal was to make an outstanding project, not just try to finish the project.

And HappyTauren it's WotTH actually, not WotH

 

[Wolverabid]

Consider them used.

It's going to take me about a hot minute to grab those puppies and upload them to our Hive's avatar browser.

Oh it was soo lame >.< Fixed now anyway. And camel, first finish stuff there is no replacement for, then, when everything is done, go back and redo stuff you don't like.
And frosty, firelord is contradicting your name.
I think this is good set of avatars, but firelord is best :3

My point exactly. We can always touch things up or re-texture an old model, but we'd best finish our roster completely in case we no longer have the time or willpower to make the repairs.

[camel's_hump]

Way to use the wrong skin. Why didn't you use the good one?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I didn't realize it had changed until I made the image and didn't want to do it all over again. Besides, I personally prefer the old one.

 

[HappyTauren]

Whats the state with buildings?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

We don't have many at all.

But would gladly recruit any talented people willing to help out.
